Eine Unbekannte Welt der Gefahr und Liebe
(A World Unknown of Peril and Love)
Dedicated to my Moirail
"The moment you have in you heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed." Jiddu Krishnamurti
It had been a year since Germany and I came back to Antarctica. It was strange, having someone to share my home with. I had never experienced something like this before. It was a new and wonderful feeling and I was eager for it after having spent so much time alone.
Even the first week had been magical:
Germany laughed as he kissed me good-morning. I was apparently a very cute sleeper, though I was not sure what he meant by that. "What are we going to do today?" I asked him.
Germany, still with a wry tone, said, "I vas vondering if you vould ever show me those penguins you kept sayink dancet in your shtomach around me?"
I blushed but then happily announced that I could indeed show him the self-same penguins that I had felt. So, later that day (as it was during Antarctica's six months of summer) we walked down to the places I knew penguins always gathered at this time of year. Once we were there, he practically melted at the sight of one of their babies burrowing into its parents fur to stay warm. He also laughed at me when I picked up another one and was cuddling it close.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked.
"Do you always cuddle vith zee penguins?"
"Before you came along, yes." I replied indignantly. "There's few things down here to cuddle with and though they're warm, sea lions and walruses and other such things don't make friendly cuddle companions."
Germany laughed again. "Am I friendly cuddler?"
"Sometimes," I replied wryly.
He smiled and then kissed me soundly. "I do try."
In either case, the weeks and months had continued, and sometimes I felt bad for bringing him down here with me. After all, he had left everything behind just so I could come home. He even left his brother, something I was not sure was normal.
"Do you ever want to go home?" I one day dared to ask him.
"Vat? Vy vould I vant to do zat?"
"You left a lot behind to come with me."
"Because I love you, and zat's better zan everything I had vere I came from."
"But what about-?"
He interrupted me with a kiss, and then caressed my cheek (consequently causing the penguins to do the marimba). "I came down with you, and I am not vantink to go home anytime soon."
"Are you lonely down here?"
"Vyy would I be lonely when you are down here?"
"I don't know... you're just used to so many people..."
"Too many people." He assured me. "Look, if it makes you feel better I have been far happier down here vith you and only you than I have been in a long time. My brother let me come because he saw how being around you made me feel. I uset to have horrible nightmares and flashbacks from a terrible time before you came. After you came... vell... I have not had them since."
"Really?"
"Yes."
I snuggled closer into his chest. "I love you."
"Ich liebe dich auch.*"
Happy Valentine's Day :D Hope this made you warm and fluffy.
*I love you too
